The Black Keys and John Fogerty Perform The Weight Live at Coachella
In April 2012, The Black Keys were riding high on the success of their album 'El Camino,' which had just dropped in December 2011. This record marked a significant turning point for the duo, showcasing a more polished sound that broadened their appeal while still maintaining their signature blues-rock roots. During their Coachella performance, they teamed up with rock legend John Fogerty, delivering a heartfelt rendition of 'The Weight' as a tribute to the late Levon Helm. This collaboration not only underscored their rising star power but also highlighted their deep respect for musical icons. The energy at the Empire Polo Club during that sunny Indio weekend was palpable, reflecting the duo's connection with fans and Fogerty's rich musical legacy. It was a moment that encapsulated both nostalgia and a celebration of new heights in their career.
